Sonic the Hedgehog 4 movie coming in 2027

According to a Variety report, Paramount Pictures will be releasing a Sonic the Hedgehog 4 movie. The film is targeting a Spring 2027 debut.

The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has proven to be a success for Paramount and SEGA. Its latest addition, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, officially arrives in theaters tomorrow. A spin-off miniseries, Knuckles, also landed on Paramount+ earlier this year.

Unsurprisingly, there’s no word on what the movie will be about at this time. However, previous films have introduced additional characters and plot points from the franchise’s games.

Jeff Fowler may return after directing all three previous movies. Fans would hope that Jim Carrey will be back as Dr. Ivo Robotnik. For Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Carrey also played Ivo’s grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. James Marsden, Idris Elba, and Colleen O’Shaughnessey have been a part of the movie series as well. Keanu Reeves joined the cast for the first time as Shadow the Hedgehog.
